![]() Users can connect to virtual desktops through personal computers (PCs), tablet PCs, smartphones, thin clients, or zero clients. The VMware Horizon VDI solution provides greater flexibility and security than terminal services, because user data is stored on virtualized servers that can be managed, updated, and backed up centrally. Hence, vSphere features such as snapshots, vMotion, High Availability, Distributed Resource Scheduler and others are available. User desktops are VMs running on ESXi hosts. VMware Horizon is based on VMware vSphere and uses the vSphere environment for hosting virtual desktops. Some software may not work properly with remote desktop services. One physical server or virtual machine is shared by multiple users, and access to local resources may be restricted for them. When using terminal services, users can access the server and use applications in their own sessions according to permissions specified by the administrator(s). Horizon works differently from terminal servers such as VNC or Windows Terminal Services (previously known as Remote Desktop Services). VMware Horizon is also known as VMware Horizon View and integrates fully with the rest of VMware’s product line. Horizon is a solution produced by VMware for deploying virtual desktop infrastructure.
